The “problem of evil” has a lot of problems of its own. It’s a favorite of atheists and other people who argue against the God of Christianity, and it generally runs something like “if God is all good, and all powerful, then why is there suffering (or evil; or, why do bad things happen [...]
I am lifting this out of my shared links to point out an opportunity to think about worldview and apologetics.
The headline is “Man Finds God, And It’s Not ‘Doctor Who.’” I like SyFy Portal, but I admit that I don’t agree with the author of this piece, Michal Hinman, about much outside of science [...]
Check out this TeamPyro bit by Dan Phillips. I agree with Dan, for what it’s worth. Read it.
I was reading Hebrews 3 this morning, and came across this:
Hebrews 3:1-6 Listen
3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. 3 For Jesus has been counted [...]
Tim Keller does the best-ever-attended “Author Talk” at Google. (HT: Challies.)
James White put a short (3-3/4 minute) but powerful presentation up on YouTube. He shares three commonly misused verses, one each by Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Oneness Pentecostals and how those Scriptures should be properly understood. Yet another awesome resource from Dr. White.
At the moment, this is fascinating to me. I don’t buy any of it, but it is fascinating. Ooh, David Rohl and the Jehovah’s Witnesses are mentioned too.
In response to a friend asking about New Testament canon issues:
The “messy human business” (I like that phrase, it’s a good description of what people think) of the Canon is a fairly recent development in the history of unbelief, and it takes advantage of people’s lack of historical training and gullibility. (I’m going to [...]
Eric Meyers, from UHL’s awesome Jesus-tomb-debunking blog:
I was shocked that the near universal scholarly consensus that the Talpiot tomb could not be the Tomb of Jesus was ignored by the press. In a surprise move Simcha Jacobovici addressed the group at the closing session and made special mention of the speech of Joseph Gat’s widow [...]
Shabir Ally is debating Dave Hunt. Are Muslims going to start going after low-hanging fruit again?
Mohler has a lot to say about Pullman and His Dark Materials (the trilogy of books that starts with The Golden Compass, just coming out to theaters). (Also, see our new poll about this on the sidebar.)
(This post is not about Doctor Who, but it does hinge on a phrase which is a bit of a spoiler in David Tennant’s first season, episode “School Reunion.” Sorry about that.)
I think I’m finally finding my place in the Body of Christ. I’m the tin dog.
Quick explanation: in the late seventies [...]
This month I am:
Preaching twice (the next two Sundays at GCBC)
Leading a group discussion on Friday night, 27 October, at the church
Writing another article for the church newsletter on apologetics
Watching the kids more often now that Tracey’s got her own business going
…and the result is, I’m not going to have a lot of time for [...]
Matt Gumm has “c’mon, man”-ed me about my lack of comments here.
As my readers know, I have never allowed comments regularly here. I have turned them on for occasional posts, where I was inviting conversation, and sometimes all I heard was the crickets chirping, and once it turned into a free-for-all with a lot [...]
Our third Sede Vacante post is a link to Tim Challies’ review of James White’s book, The Roman Catholic Controversy. I own this book, but have not read it yet; based on Dr. White’s ongoing discussions after the death of the Pope, I am inclined to think that it lives up to the high [...]
As the second Sede Vacante post, I point you to the Real Clear Theology blog. Dr. Svendsen is an expert on Roman Catholicism and he has posted several times since John Paul II’s death. The latest post at the moment shows the Pope kissing a copy of the Koran. They also have [...]
As long as there isn’t a Pope, there might as well be a continuation of the discussion about the differences between Roman Catholicism and Biblical Christianity. I insist that you listen to the 1:10 sermon mentioned yesterday by Dr. Bahnsen, but if you still want more, and in some ways a more historical view [...]
The last few years I have had a tradition of posting an end-of-year review of everything that has happened in our lives and ministries. This will not be as detailed as the reviews of previous years, but here we go:
Personal things:
My wife’s sister, the cancer patient who we said we were helping last year, [...]
